I spent a lovely day last Thursday with the CA girls…Such a lovely bunch of ladies…It is fun when you get to see them time after time and get to know them…and seeing their progress is very gratifying….

Terri really was excited to be working on her Old Glory mat,…even though I didn’t quite capture that here…and I know someone will ask me about the quilt in the background because it is too awesome to ignore…it is called Summer Breeze it was our 2015 pieced Summer block of the week…sorry you missed out on the kits…but this years is awesome as well and we will be offering them as a whole kit soon…Look for Square Deal quilt.
Debora…making beautiful stitched words for a christmas present…this one of the blocks from a quilt called Covered with Love…from Farmhouse Gatherings.

Gee. Is your schedule for the Wisconsin stitches gathering published anywhere or is it a closed activity group?
Dru told my group that we could purchase the mugs on Nov 21 at the store, that you will be there and take part in a make & take. My question…do I still have to pre-order the mug?
Sent from my iPhone
Lynda… the 21 is my travel day home ….we will set up times for the CA store when it gets closer.and post them …the ca store has 100 mugs to sell…
Really we can come stitch with you? I would love that. For sure going to vfc call!
Fun pics to look through! Someday I will shop at the Menasha store when I head to WI to visit family in Fremont! By the way, it looks like the stitching Marsha is working on with the gingham is called Chicken Scratch! Very easy to do and so fun!
Nice job Ladies! Everyones’ projects are so inspiring and pretty. Thanks for sharing Lisa.
Love seeing all the fun projects people are working on! So pretty! ❤️
For the ladies: Awesome work!
For Lisa: Re-kit Summer Breeze, plz.
Publish Luna pumpkin mat somewhere, anywhere! Just let us know so all can enjoy!
Summer Breeze was a Summer Block of the Week probably had 600 fabrics in it….Please do the current blocks of the week…they are all good!
Luna…will be available next Spring!
The stitching on gingham is called Depression Lace or Chicken Scratchings.
All the projects were beautiful. But not as beautiful as the smiles on the faces of the makers. Loved the photos. Thanks Lisa.
Beautiful work everyone! The name of the “fancy stitching” on the gingham for the mugs is a derivative from Hardanger. It’s of Swedish or Norwegian origin (I think) and sort of made a comeback in the early 1970″s and 80’s. I too have heard it called “Chicken Scratch”. Counted Cross stitch had really become popular and just sort of overshadowed it. I used to manage an arts & crafts shop at that time. Glad to see people still doing stuff like that!
